Curtin Property Company, since its inception, has always focused on providing properties that are of the finest quality, staffed by associates that provide outstanding sales and service.

Chris Curtin, founder, entered the real estate profession in Manhattan, Kansas, as a real estate sales associate in 1975.  Chris’s love for sales and his attention to service led him to start Curtin Property Company in 1977.  The early years of Curtin Property Company were focused primarily on brokerage services and property management of small properties.  In 1979, Curtin Property Company developed its first commercial office building, which led to the expansion of the company’s sales, brokerage and development of investment properties.

In 1982, planning was completed and the commitment made to develop an ambitious project for the development and construction of Westchester Park Apartment Homes in Manhattan, Kansas. At that time, this 360-unit apartment community was the largest residential real estate project being developed in Kansas, outside the metropolitan areas of Wichita and Kansas City. Chris Curtin was 28 at the time.  Curtin Property Company still provides management services for this apartment community today.

Curtin Property Company began the development and construction of Georgetown Apartment Homes in Manhattan, Kansas in 1989.  This 200-unit apartment community was positioned to be the finest apartment community in Manhattan, and to this day is considered to be the premier apartment community.  Georgetown Apartment Homes is still managed by Curtin Property Company.

Curtin Property Company moved its corporate office to Overland Park, Kansas in 1998 and began the pursuit of developing the finest apartment community in the Kansas City metropolitan area.  In 1999, Curtin Property Company began construction on The Woods of Cherry Creek Apartment Homes in Overland Park, Kansas.  Since its completion, the Woods of Cherry Creek has received over 18 Crystal Merit Awards presented by its peers in the Kansas City market area and is recognized as the finest apartment community in Kansas.
